I'm dropping in late here, so apologies if I recover any
ground already discussed,

Account maintaince.  I've seen too many Samba volunteers
get started and then fade away.  I don't want set of a
cvs module and create accounts on Samba.org and then watch
the accounts sit there for 2 years unused.

No offense, i would just prefer to see the trans-doc
project mature and get some momentum first.  sourceforge.net
is a reasonable alternative.

I understand your concerns.  However, it's the PM
resources that are scarce.  The best model here is to
let the german-docs project have its own leader who
can interact with the core Samba Team over releases,
intergration, etc...  There is another good reason
for a separate project leader--most of us don't
speak German. :-)

And I'm not violently opposed to hosting it on Samba.org.
I just want to see some structure first before we move
forward.


ciao, jerry
